I bought the Meguiar's kit from premiumautocare: http://store.yahoo.com/premiumautocare/premautcarpc.html anyway, I am wondering how good the pad that came with the PC is. which meguiar's pad is it most equivalent to? thanks.

hi gang, I have a new and unused bottle of zaino z6 gloss enhancing spray that I will never use. if someone local has a new and unopened bottle of z7 car wash that they'd like to trade, I'd greatly appreciate it. we can meet near dublin, ca or sunnyvale, ca. please email me privately...

this came out nicely. meguiar's clay, and meguiar's three step medallion.

I Dawn'd, clayed, Dawn'd and polished my new (1993) miata and then applied 3 coats of Z3 (one ounce total of Z3). I've used Z6 successfuly before (I know to use it very sparingly) on my BMW and on the "Urushi finish" of my wide screen TV but when applying it to the miata, it streaked...

I purchased a gallon of EF-HI a couple of months ago. I diluted it 50% and it is still plenty strong for everything I've tried it on so far. it works great on wheels, even on nasty brake dust coated BMW wheels. I also tried it on the engine of my subaru with great results. the best part is that...

I used EF-HI diluted to 50% on one of my cars and the results were pretty decent but what I'm looking for is some sort of an engine compartment cleaner that leaves a slight sheen behind as well. I'm after that new car look. any recommendations?

I was thinking that I might just default to using the Bissel "deep cleaning carpet and upholstery cleaner with scotchguard" that I use in my bissel big green. the machine itself is a pain to use so I was thinking to just mix the solution as directed and spray it on manually then agitate and...

I thought I read at one point that there was a local dealer or two in the area (specifically the east or south bay). if you're a dealer or know of one, please drop me an email or PM. all I need is one bottle of Z3. perhaps one of you folks in the east bay can spare a few ounces of Z3. I'd be...

I'm buying an older miata and it looks like I'll need to polish up the tail lights. they don't look too bad but do need some cleaning up that a regular washing wont take care of. any product suggestions out there for making these tail light lenses look like new?

first of all, I don't know if the car has a clear coat but I suspect not. I need to figure that out first so I know whether to order Z3 or just use the Z5 that I already have on hand. the paint has some slight fading and minor swirling. what should I prep the paint with after the dawn wash...

I saw the three pack of Viper towels at monument car parts in san ramon california for $16.95 that's a few more dollars than the online price but they do also carry 303 aerospace protectant for $9.95 / 16oz and $15.99 / 32oz. it's the same package as this one...

I mixed it down 50-50 using filtered water. the subaru doesn't make neer the brake dust that the bimmer does but it seemed to work very well. the wheels on this car are easy to clean with a brush so I agitate the wheel cleaner anyway. I'm not going to try it on the bimmer for a while because...

just had to try zaino on the "urushi finish." :D I dusted off the TV and matching stereo rack then followed up with a damp Absorber. once dry, I applied the Z6 and buffed it off. it came out really nice. anyway, I didn't get a shot of the TV but here's what it looks like.

Here are a couple of shots of what the Medallion paint job looks like after 11 weeks. I had never used a quick detailer on the paint since it had been waxed. This was the first time applying Meguair's Quick Detailer (in the purple bottle and available at Target) to the paint. The paint appeared...

applied zaino to the wheels last week end. the diret that had accumulated since then washed mostly off whith a hose! I washwed the remaining dirt off with a sponge in the left over zaino wash from my the paint. I remember reading that someone else tried this and wasn't happy with the...
